Wondering if this combination is possible?

I missed the move to 10 speed/A-head Headsets and Hollowtech BB's.

I'm running a Cannondale CAAD 3 frameset with 9 speed Dur-ace STi groupset (and still going strong)

Is it possible to run a Dura-ace 'Hollowtech' chainset with my older 9 speed Dura-ace/Sach chain. Will I experiance chain problems moving between each chainring?

Reason why I ask, I'd love to have the hassle free, less maintance of the Hollowtech BB against good old cups and bearings but still use my exsisting groupset.

Original 9 speed Dura-ace BB isn't that smooth running!

I believe the 'Hollowtech' cups will fit my standard bottom bracket.

Thanks

    I have a 9 speed chain running on a 10 speed hollowtech 2 ultegra chainset, and it works fine for me. So i cannot see any reasons why yours should not work.
